Quick & Easy Korean Cooking for Everyone (Quick & Easy Cookbooks Series)

my best friend is a fabulous cook and in the past couple of years has been perfecting her korean cooking skills (her boyfriend is mostly korean). She recently introduced me to a korean restaurant that i fell in love with. she recommended this cookbook to me- because she and her boyfriend use recipes out of it on a weekly basis. the ingredients are easy to since there's a korean district in my city.this book's layout is similar to the wei-chuan series and noh chin-hwa' book practical korean cooking. they all have gorgeous photos of all the recipes and photos of instructions. i also liked at the end of this book it had cooking tips, measurment conversions, cooking methods, and korean table etiquitte.i love the tofu casserole with miso, and the boiled potatos with beef- well i leave the beef out. they're easy to prepare and i like the fact that it has tip's scattered about the different recipes- for example preparing live clams for cooking by soaking in salt water. I already knew to do this but it was a helpful reminder.fabulous book- even if you don't intend to actually cook anything!

This book has clear (if dated) photos, relatively straightforward recipes (although there are many obvious spelling and grammatical errors), and there's a very helpful section about Korean etiquette and table settings in the back.But it's a strange hybrid: it's a Japanese take on Korean food for the Western palate. The recipes are not exactly authentic, they are filtered through the Japanese worldview of what Westerners want. And it clearly needed to be run through an editor, as some sentences make no sense at all and some of the instructions are far from clear.It's hard to recommend this book for the idiosyncratic recipes, unless you are interested in making Korean food like a Japanese housewife from the 80s.

For Beef Lovers. Has homemade sauces. Has measurements. Tells you what pots and pans to use. Tells you what ingredients should be in your pantry.

I was somewhat disappointed in this book as I was hoping to get more cooked recipes (especially for Korean Beef) and these are cold/raw recipes. It would have been nice if there was more of a description of the contents.I do admit it has great pictures and might be a good book--just not what I was looking for. . .

this is a great book to have in you library of japanese cookbooks. i love to cook. great recipes in this book!

If you just start learning to cook Korean food, this is the book. If you think you are allergic to MSG, learn to cook something else, for example: hamburger and fries without salt.

The pictures looked a bit outdated and reminded me of a 70's cookbook, there is a lot to be said today for digital pictures . It was also a lot smaller than I thought it would be for the price. Otherwise the recipes looked simple and will probably be helpful for my friend who plans to teach in Korea.

A great book with all the ingredients laid out for you. It's a wonderful book for beginning chefs.

I've to admit I had still not tried any of the recipes in this book. Just because I had not taken the time to go to the Korean/Japanese supermarket in a neighbouring city since I had bought it. My manager has recommended me this book, which had been recommended to her by Korean friends. That was enough to convince me to buy it! I like the layout, the clear instructions, and the amazing simplicity of the recipes. Worth the buy!
